A South African court ruled in favor of a Muslim group's petition to halt a scheduled event known as "Bible burning day" Friday in Johannesburg.

A South African court has blocked a Muslim businessman's plan to burn Bibles on Saturday, an earlier move in response to a Florida pastor's threat to burn the Koran, says the lawyer Zehir Omar who reportedly brought the case.
